Is there a way in Cocoa to programmatically query which Space the user is currently looking at? In other words, if I have six Spaces defined and Space 3 happens to be the one which is currently visible on my screen, how can I make some sort of Cocoa-based query to find out that Space 3 is the one that's currently visible?
You could use the (CoreGraphics, not Cocoa) API CGWindowListCreateDescriptionFromArray to get a window description dictionary for a window, and then look at the WorkspaceID data in that dictionary. There is no defined mapping from WorkspaceID to a particular space, however.
Secondly, is there any way in any of those environments to programmatically switch Spaces? For example, if Space 3 happens to be visible, is there any Cocoa code I can run which will switch the visibility to, say, Space 2?
No, there is no API (in Cocoa or otherwise) to control the active space. -eric _______________________________________________ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.
